05:002:007 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing. 05:002:008 And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab. 05:002:009 And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession. 05:002:010 The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; 05:002:011 Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites called them Emims. 05:002:012 The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them. 05:002:013 Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered. 05:002:014 And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them. 05:002:015 For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed. 05:002:016 So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people, 05:002:017 That the LORD spake unto me, saying, 05:002:018 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day: 05:002:019 And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession. 05:002:020 (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims; 05:002:021 A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead: 05:002:022 As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day: 05:002:023 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.) 05:002:024 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
